Evolution of a mimicry supergene from a multilocus architecture.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

The origin and evolution of supergenes have long fascinated evolutionary biologists. In the polymorphic butterfly Heliconius numata, a supergene controls the switch between multiple different forms, and results in near-perfect mimicry of model species. Here, we use a morphometric analysis to quantify the variation in wing pattern observed in two broods of H. numata with different alleles at the supergene locus,...
